Best practice in HTML wellformed documents

Hello to all,
 in the section "1.1 Examples" the first example:

> <table id="score">
>   <thead>
>     <tr>
>       <th>Test
>       <th>Result
>   <tfoot>
>     <tr>
>       <th>Average
>       <td>82%
>   <tbody>
>     <tr>
>       <td>A
>       <td>87%
>     <tr>
>       <td>B
>       <td>78%
>     <tr>
>       <td>C
>       <td>81%
> </table>
>
>
does not produce errors in page interpretation by the browsers but it is not
correct in wellformed HTML table definition[1].
Is it not better to define the correct markup (like above)?

<table id="score">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Test</th>
      <th>Result</th>
    </tr>
  <thead>
  <tfoot>
    <tr>
      <th>Average</th>
      <td>82%</td>
    </tr>
  </tfoot>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>A</td>
      <td>87%</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>B</td>
      <td>78%</td>
    <tr>
      <td>C</td>
      <td>81%</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Cheers.
